Before I start this off, I want to make a general statement regarding the Blackpill:
If you tell others that you are Blackpilled and you practice LM; you are an iqlet.
If you tell others that you are Blackpilled and you practice LM; you are an iqlet.
Legend:
Blue font involves Bluepilled ideas and the thought process behind them.
Red font involves Redpilled ideas and the thought process behind them.
Grey font involves Blackpilled ideas and the thought process behind them.
What is the Bluepill?
The Bluepill is an ideology that revolves around personality.
This is the pill that most normies accept as the truth.
This ideology relies on the term "Just be yourself". As most of us know, this is usually not the best advice to follow when trying to seek for a relationship or other similar connections. The Bluepill is fundamentally flawed, as it is most prevalently preached by the generations who didn't have to go through the era of social media and dating apps (Gen X, Boomers, etc.).
People who follow and accept the Bluepill are usually (at least) oldgen Chadlite or Stacylite (7/10 on the decile scale) or those who have high status / SMV in general. It's easy to believe that nothing else matters but personality when you have everything else that you could possibly need.
What is the Redpill?
The Redpill is a multifaceted ideology that revolves around Confidence, Status, and Looks (It is typically described as a mixing pot of all 3 core ideas).
This is usually the most popular ideology within self improvement communities and is the most layered / unique of all of the pills.
Status Redpill:
This is the pill that most online gurus such as Andrew Tate (yes the sex trafficker) and Hamza follow.
It revolves around the idea that having a high status; whether it's being a celebrity or having boatloads of cash, is always the easiest way to form connections with people and get into relationships. This is the second most popular Redpill ideology behind what I am going to mention next (seamless segue)
Confidence Redpill:
This is the pill that is broadly accepted as the most popular Redpill ideology. It is adopted by various PUA's and PUA Disciples.
It revolves around the idea that Confidence is key, and the all you need is to "Just be confident".
This form of the Redpill is usually (not always) expressed by dumbass AFC's (Average Frustrated Chump) who think that a cold approach is going to be able to get them all the pussy they want. In my opinion it is by far the stupidest pill to swallow. Controversial take, don't behead me: there are still significantly more benefits to being Bluepilled than Confidence Redpilled.
This is a stupid ass ideology. It's what sparked the creation of the PSL sites though so I can't slander it too much.
Looks Redpill:
This mindset is the most predominantly accepted on Looksmaxxing / Self Improvement forums like .org, .gg, and .net.
Some examples of Looks Redpill believers include: LM content creators, those who get cosmetic surgery, and ER (Don't glaze ER. He was a dumbass).
This ideology focuses on the evidence that looks are significantly more important than personality for meeting people and sparking conversations. This mindset was popularized on the PSL forums and is still very popular today. It's impact has helped spawn an entire community and is the main motivator for WL, LM, Surgery, etc.
There is a more extreme version of the Looks Redpill though.
What is the Blackpill?
This is a more serious topic and I will not include any jokes about any of the people mentioned. Rest in Peace to those who have roped because of the Blackpill and give the utmost respect to those who are deformed and weren't given a chance at life.
The Blackpill is an ideology that revolves around the phrase "It's Over" along with the idea of genetic determinism is by far the most important part of your life.
The Blackpill is followed and preached by prolific people such as: Saint Hamudi, Klimo (Rest in Peace), and Eggman / Eggy / Toby Reynolds.
Most of the men that accept the Blackpill are either truecels or deformed.
Looksmaxxers can't be Blackpilled. It's as simple as that. If you practice LM it is impossible to be Blackpilled.
A content creator named "Kip" had an interesting take on the idea of the Blackpill is that it strictly revolves around the phrase: "It's Over".
While I don't fully agree; I understand what he's talking about and I think that he was right on a lot of other things mentioned in his video.

Hope you read all the way through, please note that I’m dumb asf and probably forgot a lot of stuff. This is just for people who can’t tell the difference between the Blackpill and Looksmaxxing.
